Critics Reviews

Kimberly Potts New York Magazine/Vulture Not only is Roseanne a domestic goddess, but she is the queen of Halloween. Or Halloween episodes, anyway, as no series before or since has put such effort into crafting memorable All Hallow's Eve celebrations. Mar 5, 2019 Full Review Dorothy Rabinowitz Wall Street Journal The writing is sharp, the performances skilled. Ms. Barr and Mr. Goodman are their splendidly seasoned comic selves, and that's more than enough reason to welcome the return of Roseanne. Mar 23, 2018 Full Review Genevieve Koski AV Club "The Little Sister" bears [Joss] Whedon's stamp in both its witty dialogue ... and its unexpected poignancy. Nov 3, 2017 Full Review Joe Reid Decider The Conners' oversized love for Halloween add up to so many funny, strange moments. There was a looseness, too, to the vibe of the show in its early seasons, which made everything feel more realistic. Mar 4, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews
